Hi all! Acura owner here, own a 98CL 3.0 i have had since new been our daily driver ever since. Also own a 06TL w/navi, i just registered about a month ago, herd about the site from a friend. Havent had much time to get on. You guys have some awesome looking CLs here, iam getting all kinds of ideas? On fixing mine up! Ive always been into Muscle cars , i like all kinds (currently own 2 Mustangs) but the Acuras just have some great lines to work with and i love the reliabilty of the car.

 

Welcome, thanks for the introduction, I too am a muscle car guy, but I got stuck modding the CL after I lost my Trans Am. The lines definitely are one of the best things about the CL's. I'm glad you found your way here, and welcome aboard

 

Welcome.

I own an 06 as well. and as far as the muscle goes...pops just bought a '10 Challenger.

 

Welcome
Show us some pictures of your cl when you have a chance
...Mostly so we can tell you to lower it
Enjoy AZine, we have a lot of good information on here, just make sure you keep your spending in check, or else you may spend more on your acuras on mods than you ever thought possible

 

I am also into muscle cars as I own a toy 89 camaro but I also have a 1969 Dodge Super bee that i have owned since I was 18 (I am 40 now) and also a 69 camaro Z28 with the original DZ302 in it with 16000 original miles on it (only thing ever been changed on it is the radiator hoses and those were bought NOS from a closed dealership and battery). those two cars never leave the garage at my Uncles house (where I was brought up, they raised me. because the garage is air and heated) except for a few car shows I have taken them to in the past few years

 

welcome

 

Welcome! There's not too many people who have had their cls since new, very nice

 

Thank everybody for the welcome! i'll post some pics soon? i dont think the site will let me under noob status? The CL is all original except for some 17in. wheels my wife put on 10 years ago The TL is the car she drives most of time and she is looking to start fixing up, i got her on hold since i just dropped over 6k rebuilding the engine and installing a supercharger on my 01Roush. I never thought about fixing up the CL since it was just my daily driver but after seeing some of you guys CLs, ive definetly changed my mine! ill probably be asking alot of questions: where did you get this? where did you get that sort of thing??

 

Lots of people have made up their dd's just because of this site, glad to see you're interested in the CL when you have that roush in the garage

 

welcome. most questions can be answered from the noob guide so it shouldn't be too hard.

 

This. The n00b guide is a huge help. Also, the search button/feature towards the top of every page.

 

Mine has been in my family since it was new. My mom bought it new and I bought it from her when she got a TSX. Whats really funny is she hates her TSX and keeps bothering me to sell her the CL back... lol not going to happen mom!

 

Welcome to AZ!

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks again everybody! ill try and use the search so i dont anoy everyone with questions already asked.

 

Remember acurazine is better then google. Best believe these guys gave me the modding bug and now I'm ready for tl tranny swap and boosted j30 ah dropping bank. I think maybe I should put a hold on my money so I can't touch it

 

Iam back with my 1st question? hey Tragic Bliss where did you get your Tint for your tail lights?

 

rockblocker, but it seems like the site is down.

 

His are either tint sheets from ebay that you cut or nightshade spray tint. I did the spray 34 or so coats the sun has fadded it away a bit but im liking it better the way it is now. Still looks tinted but more smoked

 

Thanks for the quick response! i found some on ebay too! Not sure of the quality? but well soon find out?

 

I decided to spray mine since I have a extra set of tails if i have problems which for the last 6 months or so I haven't I could just swap em.

 

Welcome! I think tint/vinyl overlay is the way to go for tinting your tail lights

 

They have been out of business for like 3 years

 

yea i really didn't pay attention to them at all after the second year of having the cl.

 

Indeed. Nightshade could look nice too but tint is the way to go. And you could always peel the tint off if you get a fix it ticket or want to sell the car.
Ohh and welcome!

 

i will warn you of this. the tint traps heat and ive seen them cause lots of tiny spidered cracks in the headlights especially with HID's. I want to take mine off just to be able to see at night again...

 

Yeah i have the removable GTS covers on my Mustang Headlights and i cant see SH#% with them on at night! Iam only doing the rears, i just did my wifes 06TL they look nice!
i want to do the CL rears, also need some new Headlights upfront, mine are oxidized bad!!!
